"Lu Yuan, Mr. Brando... hasn't been doing well in the past few months."
"Is it because of the piano music?"
"yes……"
"That seems quite apologetic..."
"Is there any way to complete it..."
"I said I have no idea what the subsequent melody is, and I don't know how to complete it. Maybe I won't be able to do it in this lifetime. Do you believe me..."
"I believe it."
On the other end of the phone, Wang Jinxue was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Huh? Do you believe..." Lu Yuan was stunned.
I seem to feel a little warm in my heart.
"I feel like you're lonely sometimes. Although I don't know where your loneliness comes from, I think you must be very tired now. In fact, we don't need to be so tired... No matter how talented a person is, he still needs energy to display his talents."
"It's actually not bad..."
"You know what? That day, when I was watching you bow to everyone on the stage, there seemed to be a sense of relief in your eyes, as if a heavy burden had been lifted off your shoulders. From that day on, I felt that you were very tired... Maybe you don't really like the piano, or you don't like the burden that the piano brings to you?"
"You know, if I could pretend, I would definitely do it..."
"Well, I understand. In about half a month, the filming of A Chinese Odyssey will be finished, right?"
"That's about it. It's almost over now."
"Oh, take a good rest after this..."
"Um……"
Wang Jinxue’s phone call was very gentle.
She seemed to hear the helplessness in Lu Yuan's voice.
After hanging up the phone, he wiped the sweat off his face.
The name of the autumn tiger is not undeserved.
The afternoon sun radiates bursts of scorching heat.
From afar, sandstorms accompanied by waves of heat were blowing in from afar.
The crew opposite was still methodically filming everyone's faces, full and energetic. Gu Huai's sharp movements in front of the camera were still a luxury that Lu Yuan could never imagine. Lu Yuan touched his crew cut hair without any image. He seemed to be a little bit depressed. I still didn't have a rich and beautiful woman to support a young handsome guy...
Um……
wrong!
Pooh.
What am I thinking about?
Lu Yuan shook his head, threw away the messy thoughts in his mind, and then lit a cigarette and started smoking.
I don’t know what’s going on recently, but the price of this “Red Orchid” has been getting higher and higher, from eight yuan to twelve yuan at the beginning, and now it has risen to sixteen yuan!
In just one year, the price of this "red orchid" has tripled.
If this isn’t bullying, what is?
The old version of "Honglan" has completely changed its packaging shell. The originally down-to-earth box now instantly has a golden and red color, and the taste has completely changed.
After taking two puffs, Lu Yuan felt more and more that there was something wrong with this cigarette, and finally took out the whole pack and stared at it for a long time.
He saw the words "Southern Cigarette Factory".
He has a headache.
What’s going on with this Southern Cigarette Factory!
Black-hearted capitalist!
Damn it, not only did the price of cigarettes go up for no reason, but the taste became worse and worse.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a low-quality cigarette.
For some unknown reason, the old version of cigarettes is no longer available on the market.
What do you mean?
Other brands of cigarettes haven't increased in price, only your "Honglan" has increased in price?
How awesome is your Southern Cigarette Factory?
Damn it!
The thief has a black heart.
In fact, since the first half of this year, Lu Yuan discovered that something was wrong with the "Honglan" company.
Lu Yuan sighed.
Lu Yuan once smoked like crazy, and the belief that it would be unreasonable not to have a cigarette was forced to give up because of the increasingly unpleasant taste.
Maybe nothing in this world remains unchanged, and everyone has changed.
I also need to make a good change.
Lu Yuan put the cigarette in his pocket and then exhaled slightly.
When Lu Yuan returned to the office, the president of the Chinese Piano Association called him.
On the phone, Liu Jianbin told Lu Yuan about the international situation, and at the same time, he told Lu Yuan very seriously that the impact of his incomplete piano pieces in the international piano world was quite sensational, so they hoped that Lu Yuan could step forward at this time and calm the matter down a bit...
After listening to it, Lu Yuan naturally understood that this incident had indeed caused an indelible impact.
He also wanted to finish the act, but...
He can't pretend, right?
At this moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Lu Yuan's mind!
He suddenly realized how to deal with this matter.
"President Liu..."
"Xiao Lu, what do you say?"
"How about this, give me three years?"
"Three years?"
"Well, talk to those international pianists. I'll find a way to complete it in three years."
"Yes! Okay! I was waiting for you to say this..."
"Oh... no, President Liu..."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"I think it might take ten years. After all, you know, creating something like this, three years may not be enough... and many things are really not easy. Some people can only create one song in their entire lives, right? Ten years, I don't think it's long... No, twenty years would be even better..."
“…”
On the other end of the phone, Liu Jianbin suddenly had a thousand things to say, but for a moment he couldn't say anything.
This thing is like selling cabbage on the street. Can you still bargain for it?
"Five years, the higher-ups mean five years at most..."
"Okay, five years is five years..."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Yuan let out a long sigh.
Five years?
Five years is just a rough number.
After all, when it comes to creation, no one has a definite answer, right?
Some people can compose a famous piano piece in a year, while others may never compose one in their entire life.
I can't hold it in. Can you lock me in a small dark room and let me think about it every day?
And five years have passed...
Maybe some new talent will emerge, and I will be nothing by then.
Five years passed, and then another five years, and then again...
This is also very reasonable and scientific, isn't it?
Lu Yuan smiled brightly.
Then I looked at the sunlight in the distance and it seemed to become brighter.
…
"Five years?"
"Yes! China has responded to us, hoping that we can give Mr. Lu Yuan five years. Mr. Lu Yuan will give us a satisfactory answer..."
"Phew! That's good, that's good, God, this is the best ending."
"Mr. Edward, why are you..."
"Mr. Peterson, you don't understand. If Lu Yuan really quits the piano world as he said, then these songs may really become a lifetime regret for our generation. No matter how good we are or how talented we are in composing, we will not be able to make up his songs... Do you understand what I mean?"
"I seem to understand..."
"His public announcement of his retirement from the piano world is actually despairing, and it is also a great loss to the international piano community. Similarly, his music will truly become out of print, but now he has given everyone a deadline, so this is hope... It is always better to have hope than to be completely despair... With hope, I finally don't have to force myself to make up the melodies of these songs... Now I just have to look forward to five years from now, when he will completely restore the songs for us..."
"Mr. Edward, what do you do next..."
"Don't you have classes the day after tomorrow? I'll tidy it up. It's too messy now."
"Very good!"
Peterson looked at Edward...
At this moment, he saw that Edward's originally lifeless eyes were now emitting an indescribable vitality.
The old Edward is back.
Maybe……
He didn't really want to recreate these songs.
All he needs is hope.
Five years?
Five years is not a long time.
…
"Five years?"
"Yes, sir, five years."
Brando closed his eyes silently, without any other expression on his face.
"Bruce... I'll make an appointment with my doctor tomorrow and have him do a thorough physical examination for me. At the same time, I'll put all the cigarettes and alcohol in the basement, and I'll eat light meals for the three meals a day. Oh, and please make an appointment with a health consultant for me..."
"Ah? Master, don't you hate these things most on weekdays..."
"I'm not in good health, but I'm going to hold on for another five years no matter what."
"I understand, sir."
"Well, go ahead and do it now."
"good."
Bruce left Brando's office.
Brando silently looked at the calendar on the wall, hesitated for a moment, and marked today's day.
Then he looked at the mark very carefully and nodded, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Five years?
right.
Five years!
The sun sets.
Brando didn't know the truth of the matter.
Of course, there are many things in this world that it’s better not to know the truth, right?
At least……
They can still hold endless hopes and fantasies about the future.
…
The five-year agreement made many international pianists inexplicably relieved.
They felt they saw hope.
At the same time, I was liberated.
Of course, this international piano incident did not make the news.
From the beginning to the end, it started with a greeting response and ended with a greeting.
It started quickly and ended quickly.
No one said anything, and those who understood remained silent.
Except for some piano lovers and senior association members, no one else knows about this matter at all, let alone it becoming a hot topic on the Internet.
After all, the piano is a niche and elegant item, and it does not receive nearly as much attention as a movie starring a young idol in the entertainment industry.
for example……
Han Lu!
The publicity for City Fortress is fierce...
It was overwhelming, and even before the movie was filmed, Han Lu's team had already started a new round of hype in major hot news stories.
This is one of the few science fiction films in China with a truly large investment.
Its publicity and hype are even more intense than that of Dream Traveler...
The producers and everyone in the Chinese film industry are very much looking forward to this science fiction film.
"'This Man From Earth' opened the door to Chinese science fiction films, and this 'City Fortress' is very likely to become the founder of China's first science fiction film..." The famous science fiction writer Shen Jiangbei gave a very high evaluation of this 'City Fortress', which is also quite meaningful.
He has read this novel.
It is indeed one of the few masterpieces, and looking at the cast, this science fiction film is bound to have good box office in the future.
"The exclusive interview of City Fortress will be exclusively reported by Chen Mingchong, a new reporter of China Peripheral Entertainment News. Follow the footsteps of our reporter Chen and let us interview Han Lu, the young actor's extraordinary journey with science fiction, and get to know a different young actor, Han Lu..."
On Weibo, this piece of news suddenly appeared and immediately became a hot topic.
Han Lu also reposted this Weibo.
Overnight, everyone discovered that Han Lu's number of fans on Weibo had increased by three million, and he instantly surpassed Lu Yuan and ranked first...
At the same time, the comments below also exploded!
Wei Lai, the former Weibo overlord, was stunned after seeing this scene.
Is it so cruel?
It seems that Joaquin is really serious this time!
certainly……
Behind this hot topic, more and more people are cursing Zhou Shuai.
Everyone knows that interviewing Han Lu is now a huge hot topic in the entertainment industry.
Everyone knows that if Zhou Shuai didn't fall out with the editor-in-chief, the interview position would definitely belong to Zhou Shuai. After all, no matter how capable Chen Mingchong is, he is still a little lacking in qualifications, right?
But……
Zhou Shuai actually completely gave up on this hot topic that could have almost shocked the world!
This guy...
What a pity.
"Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west? Tsk tsk!" Editor-in-chief Liu Yong shook his head and suddenly a sarcastic expression appeared on his face.
He naturally didn't know that Zhou Shuai had already arrived in Hollywood today...
I don’t even know…
Anyway…
After a few hours, Liu Yong might never be able to laugh again.
